NAME

gvfs-trash - Move files or directories to the trash

SYNOPSIS

gvfs-trash[OPTION...][LOCATION...]

DESCRIPTION

gvfs-trash sends files or directories to the "Trashcan". This can be a different folder
depending on where the file is located, and not all file systems support this concept. In
the common case that the file lives inside a users home directory, the trash folder is
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash.
Note that moving files to the trash does not free up space on the file system until the
"Trashcan" is emptied. If you are interested in deleting a file irreversibly, see gvfs-rm.
Inspecting and emptying the "Trashcan" is normally supported by graphical file managers
such as nautilus, but you can also see the trash with the command gvfs-lstrash://.

-h, --help
